Screening and analyzing genes associated with Amur tiger placental development

Q. Li, Lu, T. F., Liu, D., Hu, P. F., Sun, B., Ma, J. Z., Wang, W. J., Wang, K. F., Zhang, W. X., Chen, J., Guan, W. J., Ma, Y. H., and Zhang, M. H., Screening and analyzing genes associated with Amur tiger placental development, vol. 13, pp. 7869-7878, 2014.

The Amur tiger is a unique endangered species in the world, and thus, protection of its genetic resources is extremely important. In this study, an Amur tiger placenta cDNA library was constructed using the SMART cDNA Library Construction kit. A total of 508 colonies were sequenced, in which 205 (76%) genes were annotated and mapped to 74 KEGG pathways, including 29 metabolism, 29 genetic information processing, 4 environmental information processing, 7 cell motility, and 5 organismal system pathways.

Expression and significance of the imprinted gene PEG10 in placenta of patients with preeclampsia

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and significance of the imprinted gene PEG10 (paternally expressed gene 10) in preeclampsia placental tissue. Quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry to evaluate mRNA and protein expression and distribution of PEG10 in placental tissues obtained from 22 preeclampsia patients (8 patients with mild preeclampsia, 14 cases of severe preeclampsia). At the same time, 22 cases of normal pregnant women served as controls.
